@naval The entire concept of a company is being built agent-first. We're building it.

@naval Platforms will get wrapped instead of rebuilt: an MCP server or an API layer bolted to the same backend that was never built for this much dynamic access.

Why? Much faster and the first wave of agent breaches will be permission and misconfig, not model failures.

Exactly. Legacy SaaS was built for humans to click tabs. Agent-first SaaS is built for autonomous execution. The future won’t be judged by how pretty the dashboard is, but by how cleanly the infrastructure passes context, handles state memory, and routes tasks to automated workers.

@naval Depends on the software, but i generally agree that we need an agent native interface in most apps.

Currently doing some research in the space http://slopai.dev http://github.com/devteapot/slop

@naval Most software was designed for humans to operate.

The next generation will be designed for humans to delegate.

@naval Yes, and those who do it the fastest will end up with a big edge.
